Description
This diamond-in-the-not-so-rough was formerly a pear orchard with two (2) very large 360' X 40' poultry barns. A 1,250-square-foot, 1900s house serves as a perfect farm caretaker's dwelling. There is excellent potential for someone to resurrect approximately 15 acres of pear trees, which were producing fruit just a few years ago. Approximately 5 acres of mature woods at the rear of the property with an adjacent farm was recently clear-cut for timber. There are two outbuildings for equipment storage and harvesting facilities, primarily for pear tree farming. The region is known for farming with excellent paved state highway frontage. The location is surrounded by operating farms and also some newer country homes. Contact Land Specialist Mike Arajakis today to schedule a showing.
This property is off market, which means it's not currently listed for sale or rent on Trulia. This may be different from what's available on other websites or public sources.

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageColonel Richardson Middle School has faced numerous criticisms regarding its learning environment and overall atmosphere. Many students and parents have expressed concerns about the lack of support from staff, with reports of rude and unapproachable teachers making it difficult for students to seek help or feel comfortable in class. This creates an unwelcoming environment that can hinder academic performance and personal growth. Additionally, the school's facilities may not be adequately maintained, contributing to a feeling of neglect. The overall safety and well-being of students are also points of concern, as reports of bullying and a lack of effective intervention have surfaced. Such issues detract from the educational experience and leave students feeling unsupported and undervalued, ultimately impacting their ability to thrive during crucial middle school years.Parent Review8mo ago - Preston Elementary School
